Blessed are the Peacemakers,
For they shall be known as peace prayer
The Children of God.
But I say to you that hear,
Love your enemies,
Do good to
Those who hate you,
Bless those who curse you
Pray for those who abuse you.
To those that strike you on the cheek,
Offer the other one also,
And from those who take away your cloak,
Do not withhold your coat as well
Give to everyone who begs from you,
And of those who take away your good,
Do not ask for them again.
And as you wish that others would do to you,
Do so to them.
AMEN
Que todos se levanten,
Que ni otro se quede
Astras de lost demas.
Let them all rise together,
Let no one be left behind.
AMEN
Come, let us go up to the
Mountain of the Lord
That we may walk the paths
Of the Most High
And we shall beat our swords into ploughshares,
And our spears into pruning hooks.
Nation shall they learn sword against nation
Neither shall they learn war any more.
And none shall be afraid,
For the mouth of the
Lord of Hosts has spoken.
AMEN
Lord make us Instruments of your peace
Where there is hatred let us sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
Where there is sadness, joy
O Divine Spirit,
Grant that we may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love.
For it is giving that we receive
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
AMEN
Jesus, help us see that you have called us to be like you.
Instruments of forgiving love
You do not take us out of the world,
But, you give us courage to live in the world.
Melt us, mold us, fill us,
Use us to make peace!
AMEN
God, Creator of the world,
Please help us to love one another.
Make nations friendly with other nations.
Make all of us love one another
Like brothers and sisters.
Help us to do our part
To bring peace in the world
And happiness to all people.
AMEN
Be generous in prosperity
And thankful in adversity
Be fair in judgment,
And guarded in thy speech
Be a lamp unto those
Who walk in darkness
And a home to a stranger.
Be eyes to the blind
And a guiding light
Unto the feet of the erring.
Be a breath of life
To the body of humankind
A dew to the soil
Of the human heart
And a fruit upon the tree of humility
AMEN
Oh God, All holy one,
You are our Mother and our Father
And we are your children.
Open our eyes and our hearts
So that we may be able to discern Your work
In the universe,
And be able to see your features in every one of Your children.
May we learn that there are many paths,
But all lead to You.
Help us to know that You have created us
Members of the same family
Your family, the human family.
Help us to beat our swords into plowshares
And our spears into pruning hooks
So that we may live in peace and harmony,
Wiping away the tears from the eyes of those
Who are less fortunate than ourselves.
And may we know war no more,
As we strive to be what You want us to be:
Your children.
AMEN
Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the flowing air to you
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace of the shining stars to you
Deep peace of the watching shepherds to you
Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you
AMEN
If there’s peace in your heart
There’ll be peace in your world
There’ll be no fear
Only love will endure
If you love just one
You can love every child
There’ll be peace in your heart
And peace in your world.
AMEN
Spirit of God, we long to mend the broken circle,
to heal the fractures in the world around us
and within our own souls.
We long to see as reality, a world pulsing with
justice and truth; A society where everyone sits
down at the Great Banquet and eats until filled.
Spirit of God, we recommit ourselves
to building the Beloved Community as
brothers and sisters working together.
AMEN
God help us to be peacemakers.
Aid us to work for peace,
To take the first step In ending bitterness,
To be the first to hold our hands in friendship
and forgiveness
Beg, God, let peace permeate our lives
So that they may be lived in Your grace and love.
AMEN
Brothers and sisters, be at peace.
We meet together to share this meal.
May it express our love for one another,
our commitment to each other
and point us beyond ourselves
to the needs of the world.
God, make peace within us.
Let us claim it.
God, make peace between us.
Let us share it.
Amen
Lead me from death to life
From falsehood to truth
Lead me from despair to hope
From fear to trust
Lead me from hate to love
From war to peace
Let peace fill our hearts, our world
Our universe
AMEN
God of Peace, be with those
Who guide the destinies of the world,
so that an end may come
To boasting and arrogance.
Give them the courage to speak the truth
And the humility to listen.
Help us to put the good of others
Above our own ambition
So that we may be freed from
The burden of fear,
The weight of suspicion,
And may come to trust each other
and live in peace.
AMEN
Like the ever-flowing waters of the river,
Life has its moments of drought
And its moments of flood.
But, if we hold on
We will discover that God walks with us,
And that God is able to lift us
From the fatigue of despair
To the buoyancy of hope
And transform dark and desolate valleys
Into sunlit paths of inner peace.
AMEN
O God, we ask forgiveness for our failure
to raise our voices as we should.
Holy spirit, anoint us as faithful advocates.
We pray for governments
to represent the demands of ordinary people,
especially those who are silenced
because of poverty or gender.
We pray that the cries of the voiceless may be heard
and that all people will declare that the word of God—
not the “laws” of economics—shall govern humanity.
We pray for the restoration of our broken relationships.
Amen
May God,
continue to create a world of equality and just living
where the whole of creation enjoys life at its fullest;
where there is neither the ruler and the ruled;
nor the powerful and powerless
nor the dominant and dominated
but where all experience grace and live happily,
knowing that it is God, the Giver of life, who cares for all of us.
Amen
Oh God, creator, mother and sanctifier of all that is,
Our humble prayer is for your spirit to inspire our lives,
for your love to fill our hearts,
for your grace to overflow
So that all who see us will say,
“Here is Peace”
“Here is Peace”
May we be this peace in our families and in our world.
Amen | |
